Tips for Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

If you’re considering selling your home in the not-so-distant future, here are a few tips I recommend to get your property ready now, and sell later:

1. Embrace Deep Cleaning: Give all the nooks, crannies, baseboards, and ceiling fans the attention they deserve. Details like these may seem tedious, but a pristine home is guaranteed to grab your buyer’s attention.
2. Unleash the Power of Paint: Whether you redo an entire room, touch up some scuffs, or add some pizzazz to your outdoor planters, a paintbrush can revitalize your living space like a magic wand. Best of all, it’s fun for the whole family.
3. Tile Around: From backsplashes to bathroom accents, tiling is a simple and affordable way to add value to your home. Just find a pattern you like and start putting the pieces together.
4. Fix Your Fixtures: If you’ve been contemplating a new kitchen faucet or fresh set of shutters, give in to your impulses and install them yourself. In less than a weekend, you can add another upgrade for buyers to rave about.
5. DIY Furniture: You don’t have to be a master carpenter to build some of your own furniture. The internet is loaded with tutorials for everything from headboards to closet shelves. All you need are a few easy-to-find materials.
